I thought the 6600gt was a pci-e card not an agp?
Do pci-e cards work in normal pci slots? I have an Asrock k7s8xe mother board btw.

A PCI-E card will not fit a AGP slot.   However there is a 6600GT AGP card available now.

I agree with revol.

For its price, the 6600 gt beats all other cards in terms of performence. There is a AGP versian available. It is highly recommended over a 9800 pro.

And PCI-e cards do not work in AGP slots.
